Re: [Visualpython-users] Error in ellipsoid object

[Bruce P. <bap...@te...>]

    Well after some more testing I found that when I installed Python2.3 
somehow the default call from double clicking on a ---.pyw file remained to 
launch Python 2.2  -- the console version and pythonwin (activestate's IDE) 
both use Python2.3.
sorry about the false alarm
